Ingredients for Aussie Fudgy Macadamia Nut Cookies

  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened Baking Chocolate

  • All Purpose Flour

How to Make Aussie Fudgy Macadamia Nut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
